Includes general information as well as information specific to people with conditions such as blindness, deafness, autism, spina bifida, Down syndrome, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. A personal website by an accessibility expert. Say What? Bacterial Conversation Stoppers
HHMI researchers have found that bacteria of different species can talk to each other using a common language -- and also that some species can manipulate the conversation to confuse other bacteria. Fight for the Right to Watch Trek
Fans of the recently canceled Star Trek: Enterprise are taking it to the streets: They're protesting Friday in Los Angeles, New York and London. By Cyrus Farivar. Handbook On Pay and Leave Benefits For Federal Employees Affected By S
"Provides a general summary of the many pay and leave benefits available to assist Federal agencies and employees who must cope with severe weather emergencies or other emergency situations and their aftermath. ... Since many of the benefits discussed in this Handbook may be granted at the discretion of each employing agency, employees should contact their agency's human resources office for further information."Opens directly into a PDF file.

University of California, Davis researchers have discovered that proteins that regulate brain-cell activity by controlling the flow of potassium ions behave more like volume controls on stereos rather than on/off power switches. National Weather Service: Climate Prediction Center: Climate Assessmen
A collection of material providing a "technical review of global climate variations and their global impacts on seasonal and annual time scales."Includes topics such as north Atlantic hurricane seasons (NOAA forecasted "a 95%to 100%chance of an above-normal 2005 Atlantic hurricane season,"in August 2005), West and Midwest flooding, and heat and dryness in Europe. Also includes seasonal monitoring information. From the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Cosmic-Ray Detectors, Klystron Accelerators and More From SC07
The supercomputing conference in Reno satisfies even the fiercest lust for processing power. Check out the server muscle behind some of the biggest science in the world. Blood Vessel-building Protein Halts Blood Vessels From Forming In Canc
A piece of the protein cellular scaffolding involved in building blood vessels during development might have the opposite effect in tumors. Cell biologists at Jefferson Medical College and the Kimmel Cancer Center of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that the protein fragment endorepellin blocks both skin and lung cancer tumors from progressing in animal models by preventing their ability to recruit new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. They showed that endorepellin has surprisingly powerful effects on halting a cancer tumor's ability to move about and spread. Researchers Control Chemical Reactions One Molecule At A Time
Scientists at the University of California, Riverside showed that L. P. Hammett's 1937 prediction of the strength of different acids is directly transferable to the activation of individual molecules on metal surfaces using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) as a nanoscale actuator.
